What do you guys think of this scam? lol

[cheapo 10+ year member]

This is an email I got from someone based in the uk. This isn't the original as I accidently deleted it. This is his response to me saying how fu,kin crazy it was and that I wasn't that dumb. Apparently someone had died over there and had 50,000,000 and he wants to split it with me half and half since he's the guys banker and needs to give it to the next of kin? lol He keeps tellin me all he needs is my name, address, and age. That and I would need to create a bank account to place the money it, one that he would suggest. lol

Dear Friend,

Compliment of the day to you, I understand the reasons for your question but I must let you know that this business is not a business I can entrust in anybody's hand but only a trust worthy person like you because of the way and manner I got your contact. you were recommended to me as a trust worthy person by a very good friend who in my country’s chambers of commerce this is were all businesses and individual contact are kept, but I did not reveal to him the nature of business I was going to have with you and this business requires strict confidentiality that is why I can not do it with a relative of friend because I do not want any body closed to be aware even my wife does not know about it.

You do not have to worry yourself about your relationship as the fund owner because I will to inform you that in issues of inheritance the beneficiary can be anybody, it is not mandatory for the beneficiary to be related to the deceased, it does not even matter of you are from different countries, the most important thing is that there must be documents to show for it, which would stipulate your status as the sole beneficiary to the funds deposited at my bank. I must inform you that my attorney will process all the necessary document backing you as the next of kin immediate I received your Identity and total such you are ready to go all the way in this business with me, this process of processing and perfecting plan of transferring this funds in you name will be solely taken care of by me, All I need from you is to open an account in an online bank that I will recommend to you for the safe and smooth transfer without any trace or disturbance from any monetary authority.

Our percentage sharing ratio will be 50% for you as a partner and 50% for as the originator of the business. I hope you find this satisfactory.

I will like to inform you that in issue of inheritance the beneficiary can be anybody, it is not mandatory for the beneficiary to be related to the deceased, it does not even matter of you are from different countries, the most important thing is that there must be documents to show for it, which would stipulate your status as the sole beneficiary to the funds deposited at my bank.

You should not have anything to worry about, I will do everything legally required to ensure that the project goes smoothly, it shall pass through all Laws of International Banking, you have my word. The attorney will prepare the necessary Affidavits which shall put you

in place as next of kin, he will obtain the necessary clearances from the UK authorities which will cover all the aspects involved in this transaction.

This attorney shall be handling all matters of probate on your behalf, he will have all the documents perfected, and with these Documents he shall come forward to my bank to apply for the immediate release and transfer of the funds to the account you shall open. I have

been a banker for many years and I know perfectly how the system works.

Talking about risks I should be the one to worry about that, because my services in this bank for many years must be accounted for, I am not a Fool, the most important factor is that you must maintain strict confidentiality of this transaction, keep it to yourself.

If you refer to one of my previous emails, I had told you what you are required to send before we commence this transaction.

Well if I may remind you again, you are required to send a copy of your Driver's License or your International Passport, the most Important issue is that I want to be sure I am transacting with the correct person, my curiosity can be justified considering the Money in question, besides, it is this copy of your Driver's License or International Passport that will be used by the Attorney to have all the necessary documentations perfected.

At this point I must inform you that being part of this transaction would only be at your free will I cannot impose this on you, it is your choice to accept or disagree with the principles and of this business or even with the transaction as a whole, but at least I deserve the privilege of knowing your decision.

If you really intend to execute this transaction with me it would be necessary to have these sent to me immediately via email attachment.

I want to know if you are willing to carry on with this business seriously, before I can take further action, it is imperative for you

to reach me back immediately.

Sincerely,

Stewart.

dude.... I literally get like 15 of these a day in my yahoo spam mail folder and its never going to stop. I saw a show on opera(sp) earlier this year about people who were scammed over the internet with these fuvkers in nigeria...its from that country most likely....they have computer rooms where they sit and scam americans... and the government tries to do what they can overseas but most of the time you cant do shyt about it.

I think its funny when people get scammed online for like 5+K... because they are so fuvking stupid.

Hello Pal,

I hope my email meets you well. I am in need of your assistance. My

Name is Sgt Jarvis Reeves. I am a military attached with the Engineering

Unit here in Ba'qubah Iraq for the United States, we have about $25

Million American dollars here which is in our possession and we are ready to move out of the country.

My partners and I need a good partner someone we can trust to

actualize this venture. The money is from oil proceeds and legal.

But we are moving it through diplomatic means to your house directly or a safe and secured location of your choice using

Diplomatic courier services

But can we trust you? Once the funds get to you, you take your 40% out

and keep our own 60%. Your own part of this deal is to find a safe

Place where the funds can be sent to. Our own part is sending it to you.

If you are interested I will furnish you with more details

awaiting your urgent response

Email:sgtjarvisreeves7@yahoo.com.cn

You Buddy.

Sgt Jarvis Reeves.

IN God we trust
